Last updated: · Prepared by: QuickCalo Team
Short answer
One plate of mie goreng (about 450 g) has about 680 kcal and 30 g of protein; 100 g has about 151 kcal. What changes the calories most is the frying oil and the amount of noodles. One plate with egg, a little chicken, cabbage and greens was calculated.
Mie goreng is yellow egg noodles stir-fried with garlic, shallots, sweet soy sauce, egg and vegetables. It is cooked at the same street stalls as nasi goreng and is a favourite late-night meal across Indonesia.
Boiled noodles soak up oil in the wok, so fried noodles carry more energy than noodle soup. The egg and chicken make a plate fairly filling, and many people add a fried egg or meatballs on top.
